Chief Executive John Lee met visiting Djiboutian Prime Minister Abdoulkader Kamil Mohamed at Government House today to exchange views on issues of mutual interest.
While welcoming the Prime Minister's visit to Hong Kong, apart from telling him that under the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong has the distinctive advantage of enjoying the strong support of the country and being closely connected to the world, Mr Lee stressed that it is the only city in the world that enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage.
He also emphasised that Hong Kong, as a major international financial centre and the world's largest offshore renminbi business hub, is an ideal place for Belt & Road companies and projects to raise funds, and could contribute to the economic development and co-operation of Djibouti and other African countries.
Noting that there is potential to further deepen the economic and trade ties between Hong Kong and Djibouti, Mr Lee said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government looks forward to strengthening exchanges with the government of Djibouti, with a view to exploring more business opportunities for the companies of both places.
Under Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Bernard Chan and Commissioner for Belt & Road Nicholas Ho also attended the meeting.
